“Blessed is the era that can honestly claim that it is not a desert wilderness. Woe, however, to the era in which the voices calling in the wilderness have fallen silent, shouted down by the noise of the day, or prohibited, or drowned in the intoxication with progress, or restricted and quiet out of fear and cowardice.”
― Alfred Delp, Advent of the Heart: Seasonal Sermons and Prison Writings - 1941-1944

“Test your theories. You will live longer.”

“In their new homeland, these immigrants work hard and endure prejudice and economic hardships, but they do not give up. As the years go by they become the core of a new working or middle class. Not all their dreams may come true, but the hope for a better life is passed on to their children. This is why when one of them or their descendants becomes a winner, when one of them crosses the frontiers of poverty or failure, they all win in some way.”
